Statement of San Gorgino Pass Water Agency to California Water Commission regarding Pacific Southwest Water Plan, November 1, 1963

Statement of San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency
to
California Water Commission regarding
Pacific Southwest Water Plan
November 1, 1963
The San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency has reviewed and discussed proposed Pacific Southwest Water Plan generally and has reached several conclusions regarding it.
1. It feels that some of the basic underlying principles are very important and are discussed here before considering some of the details.
The proposed plan appears to have been developed hastily, without examining and evaluating other physical alternatives for obtaining additional water to supplement the Colorado River. Certain examples might be given. It is our understanding that earlier studies have indicated that one of the most economical sources of water to bring into the Colorado River would be from the Yellowstone River in Wyoming. It is our understanding this large river could be tapped by means of a short tunnel through the Continental Divide. We are not saying this is the best source to supplement the Colorado River; we are saying we feel all the alternatives should be evaluated rather than making a hasty proposal.
2. The proposed Pacific Southwest Water Plan is a proposal to construct federal projects in an area without apparent consideration
